Soil centipedes (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha) in the Val Camonica forests (Southern Alps): species composition and richness [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Soil centipedes (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha) are a widespread group of predators in the forest soils of the European Alps. While in the eastern and western parts of the Southern Prealps, larger efforts were devoted to sample and study the geophilomorph ...

The Genetic Diversity in Thereuonema tuberculata (Wood, 1862) (Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae) and the Phylogenetic Relationship of Scutigeromorpha Using the Mitochondrial Genome [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Based on morphological characteristics to make species identification, the cryptic species of the Scutigeromorpha can be greatly underestimated. The mitochondrial genome provides a desirable tool for the biological identifications and the discovery of ...

Unusual Genetic Diversity Within Thereuopoda clunifera (Wood, 1862) (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha) Revealed by Phylogeny and Divergence Times Using Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]
InsectsAs one of the four primary evolutionary groups within myriapods, centipedes (Chilopoda) comprise approximately 3150 valid species. Recent molecular studies have begun to elucidate the phylogeny and time to divergence in Chilopoda; yet, identifying ...

When SEM becomes a deceptive tool of analysis: the unexpected discovery of epidermal glands with stalked ducts on the ultimate legs of geophilomorph centipedes [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Background The jointed appendage is a key novelty in arthropod evolution and arthropod legs are known to vary enormously in relation to function. Among centipedes, the ultimate legs always are distinctly different from locomotory legs, and different ...
